About the talents –
DAN C.E. – “Where is all the good music?” This is a question often asked Danny Brookings aka DJ DAN C.E. The 25+ year NYC DJ veteran often answers, “It’s out there! You just have to be more proactive at seeking it out.” DAN C.E. understands that people are looking for that “Feel Good” music and are discouraged because they feel that it is not as regularly available as it once was.
His answer to their dismay has been his RetroFitted style of spinning tunes! DAN C.E. weaves together the vibes of R&B Music across eras and styles (which includes Soul, Funk, Disco, House and Hip-Hop) in a way that only he can.
